for the continued cooperation between our countries. we're obviously following what is happening in japan on a minute-by-minute basis. ireland has generously contributed to the appeal for humanitarian assistance. we are also grateful for the offer of irish experts to assist in dealing with this. both ireland and united states know that japan has been generous in the past three timess' -- during others' of need. the conversation that we had about libya began with the passage of the un security council resolution 1973, which provides authority to the international community to take enforcement actions to protect civilians in libya. the libyan people have called for international assistance. this resolution paves the way for that call to be answered. colonel gaddafi's refusal to hear the repeated calls, up until now, to halt violence against his own people, has left us with no other choice but to pursue this course of action. while this resolution is an important step, it is only that -- an important step. we and our partners will continue to explore the most important -- expected measures t
